I just acquired a new to me 1966 Series IIA and have begun the process of a restoration. It was inoperable when I found it and was told by the PO that the transmission was seized and the engine hadn't been started in quite some time.

I recognize as the 4th owner that some modifications have already been performed. The headlights are now on the wings, similar to a SIII and I've gathered that the engine has been swapped. Currently I have a Mitsubishi Fuso 4DR50 that I will concurrently be attempting to return to functioning status.
Seeing as not all parts are original, I can only assume to my naive eyes that any or all parts may have been transplanted, thus confounding my understanding of what I actually have.
What I'm wondering is if anyone here can recognize the transmission and transfer case by the picture....or point me to a location I can further ID this setup.
Any suggestions are welcome, thanks!
